Fig. 6 Microhardness distribution at the cross section of surface composites
element in the composite layer and decreases the direct load on the soft aluminum
matrix. Moreover, the hole method surface composite sample described the lowest
wear, due to better particle distribution offered by hole pattern. Wear test results
are following the microhardness results of surface composites and parent metal as
displayed in Fig. 7.
